The Return of the Brushtail Possum
Last week was an incredibly exciting one for the team at Arkaba with a confirmed sighting of what were once-extinct Brushtail Possums (or Virlda in Adnyamathanha). Captured by one of the conservation cameras at Arkaba's wildlife viewing hide, a sighting of the lone possum suggests the conservation program to restore the environment for native species has been a success. Reintroduction of Brushtail Possums alongside the Western Quoll (Idnya in Adnyamathanda) took place in Arkaba's neighbouring Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park back in June 2015. Read the full story here. |
